Being a great sitter has a lot in common with being an entrepreneur. I am always one step ahead, but also able to think on my feet. Parents value that I’m dependable, responsible and put safety above all else. Kids appreciate that I’m patient, energetic, flexible, and I’ve managed all the kinds of growing pains they go through.

Friends call me the “baby whisperer,” since I easily connect with children and bring a mixture of fun and structure to a child’s environment. I know the importance of playtime, as well as a schedule. My sitting experiences have varied from parents who believe in “no media,” to a toddler with her own iPad. I adore the children I sit for, and they respond to my care with feelings of happiness and security. In my spare time, I work on my business, run and cook healthy meals.
